I expect you will be happy with either a Z3801A or the Trimble Thunderbolt
(TBolt).
You need an antenna.
The Z3801A was easily available a couple of years ago. They are less common
now. There are usually a couple available on eBay. Recently they have been
coming from China.
A few days ago Don Garlick announced (on this list) that he is trying to
sell one.
A year or two ago, tvb got a great deal on a batch of TBolts and power
supplies. Last Tuesday he said he is very close to another batch. Stay
tuned for details.
TAPR sells a distribution amplifier for ~$100.
